Asked about the transfer prospects of his club, Sulaiman Al-Fahim, a board member of the Abu Dhabi United Group, the new owners of English Premier League club Manchester City, has said in an interview with British newspaper The Guardian that his club is interested in Barcelona forward and French international Thierry Henry (31) and could come after the player in the January transfer window:"I just wish we could have done the takeover earlier to give us more time to spend but unfortunately I was on vacation travelling across Europe when the proposition reached me. Thierry Henry and Brazil's Ronaldo can add the confidence and the experience and provide the mix with the younger players. These are the kind of players we are looking for. And we have deep pockets. Money is not a worry to my board. The aim is to make City the best team in the Premier League."
Catalan sports paper Sport claims that Manchester City will closely monitor the performances of Henry until the end of the year, planning to make him by that time an offer the Frenchman cannot refuse. If Henry cannot raise his level in the coming months, Barcelona would be willing to listen to offers.
